There was some confusion about when we going to play last night and we ended up going on before the time the posters advertised the show was to start. Sorry to anyone who missed the set who attempted to catch it. I am finishing up my portfolio tonight to apply to Concordia this Fall. The image above is from a video I am working on the soundtrack is 2 minutes of the Grand Trine track SATURN the last track on 'Free All Psychic Centers'. So I will post it here eventually. Tomorrow I am headed to VANCOUVER, BC for the week. The tape officially sold out last night and I am going to help DISCO FIZZ print covers and assemble the Special Edition CDR version. It will be in reverse order with expanded artwork. I will also check out the COSMETICS re-debut.

It's my birthday today, I will celebrate by going to see DEAD WIFE @ Squalor House in St. Henri. Tomorrow we are playing at DIVAN ORANGE w/ Slim Twig, Creeping Nobodies, Red Mass. We are play at 9:45pm and our set will be on the floor!

"You really should do yourself a favour and show up early to check out Grand Trine, and get yer grubby mitts on their new cassette-only release, Free All Psychic Centers. Their lo-fi blast perfectly merges the driving psych of Chrome and Helios Creed with the epic panorama of Simply Saucer. Freak out!" - Johnson Cummins, Punkusraucous Rex, The Montreal Mirror

We love both of those bands.

Also there is an interview with Black Feelings about their Ancient Spirit Overdrone performance. They will have 13 extra members including Shub from Grand Trine & members of Aids Wolf (past & present), Wax Attic, Thundrah and more. They are doing a dress rehearsal tonight should be HUGE. If you want to RSVP to the event do so here.

We just got word we are going to be doing a split in the near future with Ottawa's HOLY COBRAS. Another tape. This one is for Bruised Tongue Records. They are a fresh new label from Ottawa run by some Fucked Corpses. This idea is brand new and I probably shouldn't even be posting about it - but enthusiasm has taken over. Check out their label & buy their previous releases in the meantime.

Oh I'm going to be writing for Thee Outernet blog soon. It's brand new and has contributors all over the world from band's such as Arab on Radar/Made In Mexico, Country Teasers/TheRebel, Aids Wolf, Ultra Thin plus the dude who runs Gilgongo Records and many more. Should take shape and be pretty cool in a hurry.
